How to choose the right self-tan
No tan is a one-size-fits-all! But when it comes to choosing the right formula for you, it’s important to narrow down your faux glow fundamentals that will support a seamless, tailored tan for your skin type...
The best self-tan for dry skin
The golden ticket to a long-lasting tan? That would be moisturised, hydrated skin! For those with a dry skin type, it can seem like your options are limited. But you’re in luck!

How to choose the right shade
If you’re a newbie to the world of self-tan, or are simply looking to maximise your bronze, the secret lies in opting for your perfect shade match! Bondi Sands’ self-tan heroes are formulated with dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that works with your skin to create that holiday radiance we’re all after! What does this mean for the shade that’s right for you?
If you have a lighter skin tone, a darker shade of self-tan may be too intense and cause those unwanted orange hues most of us try to avoid, which is why we’ve picked out the perfect self-tan to suit each skin tone below for that Aussie-inspired radiance...
The best self-tan for light skin tones
If your skin tone is on the fairer side, it’s worth finding a shade that you know will work for you. The ultra-dark shade may clash with your skin tone and cause orange hues to come through more prominently. So, we recommend opting for a lighter shade that is designed to work with cooler undertones.
We love Bondi Sands’ Technocolor 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam in ‘Sapphire’. It is expertly developed with blue-grey pigments to complement fairer skin tones, offering a streak-free, natural-looking finish.
Featuring the brand’s Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology, the foam formula provides electrolyte hydration while providing optimal results for lighter skin tones. The tan also develops in as little as one hour, making it perfect for last-minute plans and time-short tanners.

Ever since I discovered makeup and tutorials from a young age, I have been completely in love! Makeup, for me, is more than just a look - it’s a feeling. I am obsessed with the process of applying my makeup, bringing a look together and feeling a whole new level of confidence. My makeup routines and looks have been on a transformative journey over the years but now my most favourite go-to look is glowy, natural and sun-kissed. The Iconic London Radiance Booster is the ultimate game-changer and a makeup must-have!
